What? I don't think I've ever heard Dwight or anyone else sing "oh sookie"!
I always thought he was saying "ah, sucker" which makes about as much sense as
anything else. This whole thread is pretty funny. It reminds me of a
friend's young niece who interpreted Alan Jackson as saying that way down
yonder on the Chattahoochee it gets hotter than Susan Lucci.

Well, I don't know what Dwight says, and I doubt "sookie" is all that
common a phrase in rock music or anywhere else (unless we're talking about
severely brain-damaged individuals such as head bangers or rappers), but I
do recall Steppenwolf's song "Sookie Sookie Sookie Sookie Sookie Sookie
Soo!" Brilliant lyrics!

It is a standard rock phrase. Steppenwolf even had a song called "Sookie,
Sookie".
